Marsha asked:
How about: Is having experience-x "better" than not having experience-x?
Is not having experience-x "better" than having experience-x?
dmb replies:
I'm gonna say that's a trick question. Betterness is known within
experience, its most basic feature. But sure, we learn that its better to
avoid some experiences and every creature will remove itself from a bad
situation if it can. "Worse" plays an important role in the notion of
betterness. And its easy to imagine a neutral version, where it is better to
sit and do nothing. But I think the idea is just that we know when its good
or bad even before we know what or why or anything else. You know, that
primary empirical reality, that cutting edge of experience prior to any
intellectual evaluations or conscious assessments.
